Reviews by chOAKbarrell:

I purchased a variety 12 pack from Applachian Brewing Co in Harrisburg PA and this was one of 4 different bottles.

Color is normal, average lager color. A shade or two darker than a macro beer. Not much head to speak of, but what little there is sticks around on the surface, which is nice to see.

Smell is grassy, with some faint malt underneath.

Taste is pretty much the same. Corn-like, grassy-like. Rather unappetizing and unappealing, unfortunately. Something just doesnt seem quite right, and I swear I can pick up on the alcohol in this, even though its only 4.5%

The carbonation is there, with a bit of the "stinging" mouthfeel that macros have. Overly watery, though.

Brewpubs that bottle & sell their own beer are kickass, and I totally want to be supportive, but this beer is just not very good. I cant say I'm disappointed, since I didnt expect much in the first place, but there is certainly room for improvement.

More User Reviews:

A: Pours a clear golden color with a white head that drops down to a persistent collar.

S: There's a pleasant maltiness on the nose that is obvious but not overpowering. Light spicy, grassy noble hops, with a lemony hint.

T: Very nice malt characteristics that don't beat you over the head but are still quite pleasant. A very subtle fruity quality appears on the midpalate and is overtaken by a bready quality in the finish and aftertaste. Hops are not prominent and there is only a slight bitterness, which is all this beer needs.

M: Very smooth, clean, and refreshing light to medium body.

D: A very nice, very sessionable lager. It's nice to find a clean, light tasting lager that has some flavor. Well done.

This Dortmunder Export style pours a clear, glistening, marigold body with a small offwhite head that quickly drops into a collar. Lots of lively carbonation is on view in the glass.
Aroma is a bit restrained, with some sweetish smelling malt notes and grassy hops.
Mouthfeel is light medium, with moderate carbonation.
Taste features husky grain, biscuity malt, and some assertive grassy hop bitterning that serves up a nice balance.
An above average lager that is crisp and refreshing. A good American representation of the Dortmunder style.

Although not so popular among those who love the extreme, I find this to be one of my favorite brews. Pours amber with a nice, white head which maintains throughout the drinking. Malts hit first followed by the well balanced hoppyness. Nicely carbonated with the head lacing all the way down. Finishes great. I agree, this is the beer that Yuengling Lager drinkers should be looking to.

This is a great everyday, not-so-heavy or alcoholic brew, making it a great session beer. I drink it on a regular basis and it never lets me down. Good, solid Summer beer when I just want to have something light and great tasting.

A clear golden body teems with vibrant carbonation beneath a full head of bright white foam. The retention is fair, and maintains a wide collar and leaves some minor lacing about the glass. The nose expresses a combination of lightly grainy malt and citrusy (lemon rind) and lightly floral/grassy hops. It's not bold, but it's fresh, clean, and welcoming. The body is medium-light; and it's fine and slightly zesty carbonation is more airy on the palate than crisp. The flavor is more grainy than the nose leads you to believe, and the hops are unfortunately subdued. A delicate bitterness balances it's cereal-like maltiness well, but somehow leaves it lackluster. It finishes fairly short and dry although some grain tends to build on the palate as it warms.

I don't know what's Dortmund or Export about this beer, tasted like a plain old american all-malt to me. Not that that's necessarily bad, but this doesn't taste any different to me. Reminds me of the older Saranac all-malt lager. A slight grainy and biscuity quality with sweet grains. Nothing to write home about, but pleasant and washes doesn food just fine.
